The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of INA in heart transplant recipients and the associated risk factors of INA.Methods: Adult heart transplant recipients who firstly received heart transplantation (discharged for at least 3 months) were consecutively enrolled. Immunosuppressant adherence was assessed using the Basel Assessment of Adherence with Immunosuppressive Medication Scale (BAASIS). INA was categorized into five domains of contributing factors (socio-demographic factors, transplant-related factors, healthcare system access factors, post-transplant treatment-related factors, and patient-related psychosocial factors). These factors were compared between adherent and nonadherent patients. The risk factors of INA were investigated by logistic regression analysis.Results: A total of 168 heart recipients were ultimately included. Among them, 69 (41.1%) recipients were revealed to be nonadherent. Logistic regression analysis indicated that INA was associated with monthly income<3000 Chinese Yuan (CNY) (OR, 3.11; 95% CI, 1.58–6.12; p=0.001), number of prescribed concomitant drugs (OR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.12–1.50; p=0.003) and concerns about immunosuppressants (OR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.01–1.18; p=0.031).Conclusions: Heart recipients had a high prevalence of INA. Lower income, greater number of prescribed concomitant drugs, and more concerns about immunosuppressants correlated most with timing nonadherence and taking nonadherence among heart recipients. These findings will be helpful to intervene on and prevent future INA of heart recipients.
